Another slow start for Spurs

The Spurs, who looked lifeless in Monday’s loss to Utah, trailed Milwaukee 23-22 at the end of the first quarter.

Tim Duncan was 2 of 7 in the first quarter for four points and one rebound.

Milwaukee’s Marcus Fizer came off the bench to score eight points in the last five minutes of the quarter.

The game started under slightly shady circumstances. The arena lights didn’t all come on for the start of the game. The tipoff was delayed for a few minutes before officials decided to start the game under partial light.
